We just met with the

My Dad, Dan and I met with the surgeon after the surgery was over. He shared with us that the surgery went well. He said that the cancer had in fact started in the pancreas and then spread up through one of the lymph nodes. They removed about 40% of her pancreas and the cancerous lymph node, getting all of the cancer. What sucks with pancreatic cancer is that it typically comes back, so she'll begin chemotherapy about 6 weeks out. She'll be in the hospital for about seven to ten days before she heads home. We were just notifed that she was just moved to the recovery room and will be in her room at 3:15 for us to see her.
